Skull

Description

Often used in conversations about horror themes, Halloween, or even lightheartedly joking about danger, it can express anything from fear to playful spookiness. In popular culture, it's frequently paired with phrases like "I'm dead" for dramatic flair. Interestingly, the skull also appears in many folklore tales, representing the confrontation with mortality, encouraging a deeper appreciation for life. Use it to spice up any eerie narrative or festive message! The emoji version is 0.6, released in 2015.
